To qualify for the Certificate of Excellence, businesses must maintain an overall rating of four or higher, out of a possible five, as reviewed by travelers on TripAdvisor. Additional criteria include the volume of reviews received within the last 12 months.

At Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Pacific, visitors have many opportunities to explore the surrounding rainforest by boarding an aerial tram, strapping into a zipline harness, stopping by the Serpentarium (snake museum), grabbing binoculars for bird watching or heading out on an organized adventure, such as the family tour or the transportation tour.

“We’re excited to receive the 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, a testament to the hard work of our team and naturalist park guides,” says Eugenia Solano, manager of Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica.

The Certificate of Excellence award is given to outstanding hospitality businesses that have received praise and recognition in reviews by TripAdvisor travelers with winners ranging from hidden attractions to world-renowned parks and museums.
